“We spent much time in the lab fine-tuning the project in order to find the perfect balance that was unobtainable by drawing or calculation. As time passed, the project increasingly became a metaphor, because moving the weight of the elements by a single millimetre could make it collapse – exactly like in real life. Our difficulty as designers rather than artists was that we could not resort to tricks to make the project work. Eleven people with different tasks worked on Screen System.
The industrialisation process is quite particular. You become part of a team, which is great, but also scary, because if one of the eleven decides to change one element, the equilibrium changes.”
